Have you ever uploaded a video to YouTube with hopes of your video attracting lots of attention and garnering enough organic search engine optimization traffic to help you earn a nice chunk of cash, but after several weeks your video doesn't seem to be attracting much attention at all?
Well Google has a solution for that now. About a year ago Google announced launched a program within AdWords called Promoted Videos as a search advertising program on YouTube. This allowed anyone who creates and uploads video content to drive viewership of their videos by targeting hundreds of millions of searches that happen on YouTube every day.
Google has been working diligently on broadening the reach of Promoted Videos by making those videos appear on Google's search results, the YouTube home page and recently across the AdSense network too.
As a result the Promoted Videos program is now driving millions of video views per week.
Google wants to make it easier for advertisers to use the medium of video to reach out to their target audience. Starting today you can buy Promoted Videos directly from within your AdWords account.
According to Google "any AdWords advertiser with video content — from a small business looking to promote a product, to a movie studio premiering a new trailer — can use Promoted Videos to make sure their videos find a larger audience."
Promoted Videos are currently available in Canada, the U.K., France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.
